Gigabyte M912
So far, we have reviewed a couple of Atom based
netbooks from ASUS and MSI. With more companies getting into the Intel Atom
netbook bandwagon, it is probably more and more difficult to choose the right
model for your needs. Today, we take a look at a unique design from Gigabyte.
Gigabyte M912, just like the Eee PC 901 and MSI Wind Notebook
are based on the same Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor N270 powered by the Intel 945GSE
chipset. The unit itself comes with 1GB of DDR2 and
a 160GB SATA
HDD.
The unit comes with a 8.9" screen and a well laid
keyboard with small keys. The unit we reviewed comes preinstalled with Vista
Home edition In terms of connectivity, it comes with 3 USB ports, 1 LAN port, 1
D-SUB, 1 card reader, 1 megapixel camera, 802.11b/g wireless LAN.
Something that differentiates the M912 from the
competitors is it has a swivel touch screen which can be rotated 180 degrees. It
can be used as a tablet PC with a stylus or finger.
